Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)

This is the theme song for the highly-acclaimed movie, Arthur. Alluring melody and terrific lyrics combined with Christopher’s brilliant voice, and we see why popular song garnered the 1981 Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Once in your life you find herSomeone that turns your heart aroundAnd next thing you know you’re closing down the townWake up and it’s still with youEven though you left her way across townWondering to yourself, “Hey, what’ve I found?”

When you get caught between the Moon and New York CityI know it’s crazy, but it’s trueIf you get caught between the Moon and New York CityThe best that you can do ……The best that you can do is fall in love

Arthur he does as he pleasesAll of his life, he’s mastered choiceDeep in his heart, he’s just, he’s just a boyLiving his life one day at a timeAnd showing himself a really good timeLaughing about the way they want him to be

When you get caught between the Moon and New York CityI know it’s crazy, but it’s trueIf you get caught between the Moon and New York CityThe best that you can do …..The best that you can do is fall in love

When you get caught between the Moon and New York CityI know it’s crazy, but it’s trueIf you get caught between the Moon and New York CityThe best that you can do …..The best that you can do is fall in love

Sailing by Christopher Cross

It’s not far down to paradiseAt least it’s not for meAnd if the wind is right you can sail awayAnd find tranquilityThe canvas can do miraclesJust you wait and seeBelieve me

It’s not far to never never landNo reason to pretendAnd if the wind is right you can find the joyOf innocence againThe canvas can do miraclesJust you wait and seeBelieve me

SailingTakes me awayTo where I’ve always heard it could beJust a dream and the wind to carry meAnd soon I will be free

FantasyIt gets the best of meWhen I’m sailingAll caught up in the reverieEvery word is a symphonyWon’t you believe me

It’s not far back to sanityAt least it’s not for meAnd when the wind is right you can sail awayAnd find serenityThe canvas can do miraclesJust you wait and seeBelieve me

All right

It’s All Right to try and find the reason why. Be optimistic that it might just work for every try. At least there’s something to look forward every moment.

All Right by Christopher Cross

I knowI know what’s on your mind

And I know it gets tough sometimes.But you can give it one more try to find a reason why

You should pick it up and try it again.‘Cause it’s all right – I think we’re gonna make it.I think it might just work out this time.

It’s all right – I think we’re gonna make itI think it might work out fine this time.It’s all right – I think we’re gonna make I think it might just work out

‘Cause it’s not too late for that – too late for me.I know I’ve been hurt before

And I know I really shouldn’t give any more.But this timethis time things seem just a little different.And when I look in your eyesyou know I can see that it’s true.And I hear you say:It’s all right – I think we’re gonna make it. . . .Just when you feel helplessnothing lefl to say.Love will find us. The past behind us – then we’re on our way.Time and time again I see people so unsure like me

We all know it gets hard sometimes. You can give it one more try

Find another reason why you should pick it up

You should kick it up and try it again.‘Cause it’s all right – I think we’re gonna make it.‘Cause it’s all right – I think we’re gonna make it.
